Two dark bowls of potato leek soup with chives on a moss-green placemat, with a spoon, napkin, candles, and a wintry window.

Potato Leek Soup with Chives A pale, creamy soup deserves contrast—serve it in dark ceramic bowls set on moss-green placemats for a wintry touch. Garnish with finely snipped chives, arranged like tiny green ribbons across the surface. Use pewter spoons and linen napkins tied with twine and fresh thyme sprigs for a rustic yet refined style. Surround the table with frosted candleholders, casting a silvery glow to echo the frosty air outside. This simple soup becomes a refined first course when paired with thoughtful details of texture, color, and light.
